Each fall and spring semester, Adult Student Services holds a registration event for eligible Missourians to register for a single class free of tuition in a program called MSU 62. We’re pleased to share that for the Spring 2025 semester, MSU 62 registration will be held open on Thursday, January 8, 2026.
Registration will be conducted fully online. Registration forms go live at 9:00am on Thursday the 8th, and will close 2:00pm on Friday, January 16th.
Of the many courses available to MSU 62 participants, Dr. Vadim Putzu invites you to consider his Jewish Philosophy course.
Religious Studies 397: Jewish Philosophy
“What is God? Why bad things happen to good people? What is the use of religion? What is the purpose of life? If you are interested in these and other fundamental questions, enroll in REL 397-001 (Jewish Philosophy) to explore 2000 years of Jewish attempts to answer them!
This course is designed as a critical exploration of a variety of the fundamental problems of theology and philosophy as they have been discussed by Jewish thinkers from Philo of Alexandria to post-holocaust authors in the 20th century. Together, we will choose which authors to read for each topic. Class will focus on close reading and discussion of classic texts of Jewish thought in English translation. Topics treated will range from the relationship between reason and faith to the existence and nature of God, from the status and purpose of Torah and the commandments to free will, and from the nature of revelation and prophecy to the problem of evil and the ultimate goal(s) of human existence.”
This course is taught Mondays and Wednesdays, from 2:00pm-3:15pm in Strong Hall 204.
